27 A Test in Disguise (1/2)

Little Brother Ye, who had just come back from running an errand, was speechless when he overheard this secret conversation between the two Luo family spies. Admittedly, he was slightly envious of the giant charm boost that Ye Shuang had received, but when he heard someone using Ye Shuang's good looks as a point of detraction, he felt the world had become quite weird.

”Xiao Feng, you're home‽” Grandmother Luo noticed Little Brother Ye standing at the door. With a glow in her eyes, she waved him over. ”Come over here, tell your grandma, how long has your sister been with that boy already?”

Since he had been named, Little Brother Ye had no choice but pointed at the picture of cartoon monkeys on his shirt and shrug. ”How would I know? I've always adopted a see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil attitude regarding that sister of mine.”

Uncle Luo swiped him on the back of his head. ”Would you care a bit more about your own sister!”

”…”

Before they arrived, Grandmother Luo and Uncle Luo had gathered some basic information from Father Ye and Mother Ye. They were quite satisfied with what they heard, so they didn't think much of this future addition to their family. However, when they saw Ye Shuang in person, they finally realized what Mother Ye actually meant when she said he was ”a rather handsome young man.”

If Ye Shuang had a normal level of charm, then they wouldn't have said anything; after all, no one would like to pollute their eyes with ugly objects. However, if the level of charm had overshot normal human level, then things would be different. First and foremost, why would someone so handsome pursue this relative of theirs‽

Since Mother Ye knew that both 'Ye Shuang's were one and the same, she wasn't that guarded around the more attractive Ye Shuang, but Grandmother Luo and Uncle Luo didn't see it that way.

When Ye Shuang was helping in the kitchen, the two elders from the Luo family captured Little Brother Ye to interrogate him for information about Ye Shuang. Thankfully, the Ye family had prepared for this beforehand, so Little Brother Ye didn't blurt out anything harmful to their operation.

Noticing the worry on his grandmother and uncle's face, for the sake of everyone, Little Brother Ye silenced his conscience to heavily praise his brother-in-law, from his talents to looks and educational background. He left no stone unturned and no quality unpraised until Mother Ye in the kitchen came to his rescue and called him into the kitchen. It was then that Little Brother Ye left feeling accomplished.

Grandmother Ye and Uncle Ye, who were left in the living room, shared a look, and they became even more worried.

”To be able to blind Xiao Feng so loyally to his side that he wouldn't say a bad thing about him, the boy is even more calculative and manipulative than we thought,” Uncle Luo observed worriedly. He believed his sister's family of four had already been KO-ed…

Looks like we won't get any real information from them.

Grandmother Luo, however, was at least willing to think on optimistically. ”It's still too early to come to that conclusion. Even though the boy sounds like he's a bit too good to be true, it doesn't mean that he's insincere toward our Shuang Shuang. After all, if he's really scheming, what is there for him to gain? Money? Looks? Shuang Shuang has neither of those, so this might be true love!”

”…” Uncle Luo. Mom, can you not… I don't know what to say to that…

The Ye family hadn't envisioned the possibility that Ye Shuang's overly impressive qualities would cause Grandmother Luo and Uncle Luo to worry. After finishing the dinner that they thought had been successful, they chatted until the night darkened, until it was time for Grandmother Luo to rest.

Mother Ye naturally shared a room with her mother, Father Ye would bunk with Uncle Luo, Little Brother Ye stayed in his room, and Ye Shuang… Ye Shuang was forced to leave her home and register in a hotel.

F*ck my life! I have to get myself a safe house as soon as possible. Who can survive this kind of lifestyle‽ Staying at the hotel every two days even though I have a home, the expenditure aside, it's hella inconvenient…
